Then I would conjecture there is a problem with the trust relationship
between the Samba server and the PDC. In that type of network, as I
understand, authentication is done by the PDC. When a user wants to
connect to another machine on the network, a token passes from the PDC
telling the other system whether that user has permission to access.
This seems to be where your network problems stem from. Either the
Samba server doesn't have a trust relationship with the PDC, or the
tokens aren't passing correctly. All the samba servers I've set up are
PDCs and Win2K XP machines autheticate to this PDC.
